What: VelaterapiaHow: While the smell alone may deter you from ordering this treatment at your next salon visit, Brazilian women are hot for this rather unconventional hair therapy. The procedure involves twisting the hair and then burning it, so that the damage pieces separate and stick out from the rest. The hair is then trimmed and deeply conditioned, creating a smooth look void of split ends. It takes three and a half hours from start to finish and it's recommended to do it three times a year.
